Around 4,000 people just disappeared from Salesforce’s Slack channel within two days. In San Francisco, the layoff round hit 258 workers, affecting “sales and customer service”, “technology and product” and “general administration”, according to a WARN notice. In Ireland, 200 of the company’s 2,100 employees received their notices.
In the US, affected employees will receive a minimum of nearly five months of pay, health insurance, career resources, and other benefits to help with their transition. “Those outside the US will receive a similar level of support, and our local processes will align with employment laws in each country,” Benioff had said.
